The water Oue.tion at 1T. WAYNE.

FORT WAYNE. July 31.-ISpeciall-The
Intense heat and long continued drought
threatens the city's water supply as never
before, and when water for street sprink-
ling and general consumption is il greatest
ed in its Use, least a confiagration would
find the FIRE department without sufficient
water. Springs and brook, hitherto unfail-
ing, are now dry. In this emergency the
city.council, which bad been considering a
proposition for the purchase of the old
Wabash and Erie canal feeder for SO 900,
is now turning its attention to artesian
wells. 1t happens that in two attempts
made to strike natural gas, strong flow OF
pallatable water was found, which still
pours III unbroken volume from the pipes.
The water works trustees have Just con-
traeted for the boring of half dozen wells
down to this water vein. OF course the
pubic interest in the result is very great.
